l To @ZZ whont t may concern;

i in a single structure the motive and operat- `bination and arrangement of ingV power and the conveying,

tamping apparatus.A

Theinvention consists in the parts and comparts hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are complementary views showing in side elevation a paving-plant embodying my invention. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same; Fig. 4, an end elevation showing the discharge end; Fig. 5, a vertical cross-section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 3; Fig. 6, a detail of a portion of the mechanism for actuating the tamper, and Fig. 7, a top view of the tamper-carrier.

A represents the frame or platform upon which the mechanism is mounted; B B, supporting and driving Wheels fixed to an axle b; C, a caster or steerage Wheel; D, the boiler; E, theenginecrank-shaft;l F, aconcrete-mixer which may be of any suitable type; e, a gearwheel on the crank-shaft adapted to mesh with a gear wheel f on a countershaft fp and thereby transmit motion to the mixing and conveying apparatus; G, a platform from which the rockis dumped into the concretemixer; g g, inclined ways leading to the rockplatform and preferably supported at-thead-l vancing end by one or more trucks g; H, a platform from which the sand is dumped into the sand-receptacle; h h, inclined ways leading to the sand-platform and preferably supported at the advancing end by oneor more trucks h; I, theV sand-receptacle; J, a sandelevator which carries the sand from the sandreceptacle to the sand and cement meter; e', a pulley on the crank-shaft connected by a belt to a pulley j, fixed to a shaft j, which carries a pulley j?, adapted to actuate the sand-elevator; K, the sand and cement meter having hoppers lc and 7c for the receptionof the sand and cement,` respectively, and a jib and preferably consistingof a frame in which are mounted the axles of two pairs of' trucks o, adapted to travel on ways n on the` jib n, and carrying two sheaves o and o2.

P is a rope or cable fastened at one en d to the jib of the crane passing over the sheave o', under a sheave q, connected with a tamper Q, thence over sheave o2 and a sheave n3 and secured at its other end to a grooved wheel R, loosely mounted on shaft M.

A collar m2 is keyed to shaft M, adjacent to wheel R, and carries an arm m3, adapted to engage with a tripping-latch 0^, pivotally mounted upon the wheel R and normally spring pressed into the path of travel of arm m3.

Projecting from a suitable point mrthep frame is a pin a., adapted to engage with the heel of the tripping-latch and force its latch out of engagement with the arm m3. The wheel is provided with a pin r', adapted to engage with a stop or buffer a and limit the return movement of the Wheel. In order to adjust the throw of the wheel, it is provided with a series of holes r2, in either of which the the rod ineither direction the position of the sleeve S and the angle of the caster-wheel relativelyto the main frame are changed and the direction of travel of the machine may be regulated at will.

IOO

It Will-be seen` that the sand iselev'ated, the materials mixedftlie tamper'actuated; and the( 1o plant of an engine, a crank shaft, a secondary shaft driven thereby, a grooved wheel loosely mounted on the'seconda'ry'shaft;means -for automatically engaging and disengaging the Wheel and the shaft, acrane carried by the' 15 frame, a carriage adapted to travel along the j ib of the crane, atamper'traveling-withv the `carriage and-a1opef`adapted tofsu'p'port the U tamper andconnectedWiththegroovedWheel,1 4suflostantiallyas and forlth'epu'rpose described. 2O

2f The combnatio'nfin a portable paving i* plant'of'an=engine, a'cr'ank shaft,a-secondary mounted 'on "the 'secondaryshaft;meansL for automatically engaging and disengaging the Wheeland the shaft, a cranecarried by the frame, a carriage adapted to travel along the jib of the crane, and provided With sheaves, a tamper sheave connected with the tamper and a. rope secured at 011e end to the crane,

' taking 'overa Sheave on the carriage under the tamper sheave over another sheave on the carriage andsecured to the grooved Wheel,

substantially as and for the purpose described. 3. The combination in a portable paving plant, of an* engine' ai crank shaft, a shaft M driven therebyra grooved Wheel R loosely mounted on thev Shaft, an arm m3 carried by the shaft, a tripping latch r, a releasing pin a, a crane l\li"l1avin',gf`` jib ma carriage O adapted fto' travel 'along-the jib'of'th'e crane, aftamper "Qfand airope P connected and arranged,'sub stantiallyfa's and for lth'e-purpose' described.
